To find someone with the same principles who wants a serious relationship and where we are genuinely interested in each other.

getting ghosted is a tough one. I get I'm not for everyone, but only few (less than maybe 30%) have the courage to say no thanks (and the reason is irrelevant) so I can concentrate my efforts elsewhere. God bless.

Finding a brother who should wait till after marriage to engage is funnier tight in this generation. Alot of people are comfortable wit fornicating as believers. I rather stay single then🤣 yo

@Prudent some can marry you before intimacy and you also must say no sex before marriage and you should tell the person from the beginning

@Prudent I totally agree. Some “Christian” men make promises to wait so you would fall in love with them, and then once you are dating, they start pressuring you physically. It is so difficult to find a man who guards your purity instead of pushing your boundaries. In this sense, they are worse than nonbelievers who are honest about their lust in the first place.

The challenge is to get swept away in pursuing someone. Overcome by “Seeking First The Kingdom Of God!” Go after what Jesus is calling you into, build the ministry He has placed on your heart, surround yourself with community on fire for Jesus, find fitness/endurance challenges, serve, serve & serve again in your local church. Youll find that will fill & sustain you, then the right person will come and youll be running toward Him side by side.

Some of the answers I already resonate with, but I'll add one more - keeping the hope alive that a miracle of finding love will happen 😅

Emotionally unavailable people, this does not show Jesus character, puts you in a situation you behave like wordly men. Seek his kingdom first but work in you too.

I care about physical purity very much, but everyone else around the age of 30 has shared that physical intimacy with someone else in the past. I’m not judging their past, but I would struggle with retroactive jealousy and insecurity if the person I meet has had a lot of experience before.

@S If you really want to be with someone you'll have to accept that person not only for who he is, but also for who he was, I think that'd come natural for you, or maybe you'll find a person who's also waiting till marriage, who knows

@Tony yes that’s my hope, but if God does bring me someone with past experience, I would still love him and seek Christian counseling so I can move past this mental/emotional block.

@S Yes, that's a very sensible attitude, Christian counselling would be greatly beneficial, don't bottle up your feelings but talk about them instead and jn time you'll be able to manage them

God shows us grace in our sin and makes us righteous. I think if God’s will is for you to have a partner thats been in a close relationship that he’ll give you the grace to cope with it. I pray you’ll soon find someone special, right for you whatever their past 🙏

1. Isolation. As Church prioritises marriage + family (and friends become busy with those things), singles become invisible. Even if serving, this can create a false sense of belonging. 2. Very hard to find someone who genuinely lives out their faith and has integrity. This is made more difficult when long-distance is not an option. At this point, I make time for friends, and don’t place much expectation on finding someone - being single is better than being in an unhealthy relationship.

Men approach you claiming to be devout Christians so they can gain your trust, but then treat you dishonorably

@S I think it's in large part because Christianity is turning 'trendy' after so many years It reminds me of Jesus' parable of those whose roots aren't deep because they're not truly living in the fsith

@S totally agree with you. Like where on earth do they get the nerve to use the name of the Lord to deceive other people? I honestly can’t believe people can be that diabolical.

My biggest challenge for me is that, the site is toooo quite, i said to my self, am i Invisible, or what is hapening to my profile? Well i know its my first time but i don’t think my profile is that bad not to have no ones reply??? For me it is better to be truthful than …. Not. And also i felt like may be some are low confidence to proceed? I really dont want to judge at all. And it is vital to be very confident, & ready to come here. I will take any suggestions…. Thank yiu

@Oscar its crucial to talk anout it instead of just letting them go. You might like his/ her bleive and ended up in their church so next time, pause, talk about it and discuss and see the result.
